I currently run a SurvPC as my main machine, it's a P150 with 1.5
gig hd and 16 megs memory. It works well and is loaded with soft-
ware using Win95 as the platform. I have another 1.5 gig hd on the
way. My questions are -
When I install the new hd, assuming it'll plug'n'play, will it be assigned
as drive e by the bios (drive d is my cdrom), and after fdisking and
formatting it will I be able to simply create dirs and install more soft-
ware, or is there more to it than that?
The last time I added a drive to a machine, it was an 8088, and if I
remember correctly, it was swap drives, not add. I think I went from
20 megs to a whopping 32 megs, both were Seagates. I had to do a
low-level, then fdisk, then format, and all went well. I don't think the
cd-roms were around yet, tho I could be mistaken. My point here is
that although I have a bit of experience about 9 or 10 years past, I'm
kind of apprehensive about doing this drive addition myself, what with
32 bit partitions and cd-roms and all, and I'd sure appreciate any
pointers from y'all. Altho I can't remember posting here, I've been here
for a handful of months now, and read this forum daily. I've sent for
the drive already, and expect to receive it early next week. So I suppose
I'm committed. I'm also interested in going to 64 megs of memory, but
my understanding is that I'll need to physically open the machine to
determine what kind of memory to get. Any comments?
Thanks in advance, Tommy
